With the 100-game mark fast approaching for most major league teams - some have reached it - the contenders' needs are now clear and the trade market is getting established ahead of the July 31 deadline.

While big names might be in short supply, there should be no shortage of movement over the next 10 days. USA TODAY Sports' Jorge L. Ortiz takes a look at who's available and where they might wind up.

***

Cliff Lee, Philadelphia Phillies

Time, salary left on contract: Lee is owed $9.5 million the rest of this season, plus $25 million next year. There's also a $27.5 million club option for 2016 with a $12.5 million buyout.

Why he'd get traded: The last-place Phillies are finally realizing they're not contenders, and Lee hasn't helped much of late because of a strained elbow.

Who needs him: Lee had a 3.18 ERA and 6.8-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio before getting hurt. However, he turns 36 in August and has been more hittable than in the past.

Who gets him: It depends on what Lee shows in his two starts before the deadline. If he looks like the Lee of recent years, the Phillies could ask for better prospects. The Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees might be in the mix.

David Price, Tampa Bay Rays

Time, salary left on contract: There is about $5.3 million to be paid in Price's $14 million deal this season, and he has one more year of arbitration remaining - at probably $18 million or more - before he can become a free agent.

Why he'd get traded: His impending free agency and escalating salary are prime reasons along with Tampa Bay's fourth-place standing in the American League East. However, the Rays are finally making their move, winning 16 of their last 21, and might opt to keep Price.

Who needs him: Just about every contender has expressed some level of interest, although the Seattle Mariners, St.Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers are regarded as the most ardent suitors.

Who gets him: Likely nobody, but with their deep pockets and win-now-or-else mind-set, the Dodgers look like the favorites. They are intent on building their farm system around high-level prospects but might be willing to relinquish at least some in the pursuit of Price.

Chase Headley, San Diego Padres

Time, salary left on contract: Headley is making $10.525 million this season, his last before free agency, with $4 million coming to him the rest of the year.

Why he'd get traded: The Huston Street deal confirmed the lowly Padres are open for business despite lacking a general manager, and Headley can walk after this season.

Who needs him: The Blue Jays, Yankees and Kansas City Royals are among the contenders that could use an upgrade at third base.

Who gets him: The Jays long have liked Headley, even though he hasn't come close to replicating his 31-homer, 115-RBI season of 2012. Injuries to Edwin Encarnacion, Adam Lind and Brett Lawrie have unplugged the once high-powered Toronto offense.

Jake Peavy, Boston Red Sox

Time, salary left on contract: Peavy is still owed about $5.5 million of his $14.5 million salary for this year. He has a $15 million player option for 2015 based on innings pitched but almost certainly won't meet the required figure.

Why he'd get traded: He's 1-8 with a 4.59 ERA for the last-place Red Sox, although they've been showing signs of life lately. Peavy's performance has improved in recent starts, and he might have value to a contender looking for a gritty veteran for the back end of the rotation.

Who gets him: Free-falling Milwaukee has tried to plug its hole in the fifth spot of the rotation with rookie Jimmy Nelson, but the results haven't been favorable. A rejuvenated Peavy could be the answer, and he wouldn't cost much in terms of money or prospects.

***

Joaquin Benoit, Padres

Time, salary left on contract: Benoit has about $11.8 million left on his two-year, $15.5 million contract, which runs through the 2015 season and has a club option for 2016.

Why he'd get traded: Late-game relievers, even if they're not closers, are a valuable commodity at this time of year. Benoit is having an outstanding season, registering a 1.99 ERA and a .836 WHIP.

Who needs him: Who doesn't? The Detroit Tigers are in the most desperate need, but the Rays, Jays, Yankees, Cincinnati Reds and Brewers would be happy to have him too.

Who gets him: The Tigers, who have a 4.40 bullpen ERA, realize they shouldn't have let Benoit go. It likely will cost them to get him back.

***

Kurt Suzuki, Minnesota Twins

Time, salary left on contract: Suzuki has about $1 million left on his one-year, $2.75 million contract. He can become a free agent after the season.

Why he'd get traded: Minnesota has begun discussions on a contract extension with Suzuki, but his asking price has increased considerably in his first All-Star season. Chances are the Twins will try to get some value in return for Suzuki rather than risk having him walk for nothing.

Who needs him: The Cardinals and Orioles - both losing All-Star-caliber catchers to injuries - are at the front of the line. The Jays might consider upgrading as well.

Who gets him: It would seem to be a tossup between the Cardinals and Orioles. This one might come down to the deadline and whichever team is willing to give up the better prospect.
